Entitlement

 

"The most common way people give up their power

is by thinking they do not have any."

Alice Walker

The woman attended her reunion which stirred up a lot of old memories and unresolved issues. She marveled at her self when assessing who she used to be compared to who she was today. In parting, a class mate rudely commented at how entitled this woman now acted saying it thickly laced with criticism and judgment.

Taken a back by the comment, the woman quickly asked herself if this was true to any degree. She had been knocked off balance and felt shame. That is, of course, until she was once again ready to reclaim the personal power that she had gained throughout numerous years of transformation. 

As we rediscover ourselves, shedding old cultural limitations, and dysfunctional family patterns, our energy increases and embraces diverse options: physically, mentally, and spiritually. To radiate strength with an open heart we share, help, and accept others, believing in our ability to make a difference in our world.
